“As Usama bin Laden said with regard to the cartoons of Denmark, ‘If there is no check in the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions.’”Joshua Rhett Miller, “Road to Radicalism: The Man Behind the ‘South Park’ Threats,” Fox News, April 23, 2010,http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/23/road-radicalism-man-south-park-threats/.

In an e-mail correspondence with FoxNews.com:
“I seek to help the world understand that neither the Muslims in general nor the mujahideen [holy warriors] including Al Qaeda are abject to peace, but that this peace come with the following conditions: a complete withdrawal of non-Muslim forces from Muslim lands, an ending of the propping up of the apartheid regime of Israel, and a ceasing of the propping up of the brutal dictators we currently have who refuse to rule by divine law. I also seek to help the world understand that there will be no peace until the above conditions are met. Basically the formula works like this … if you kill us, then we kill you. If you do not kill us then we can have peace. 9/11 had nothing to with freedom or democracy. It had to do with the murder of hundreds of thousands of Muslims around the world by American and other powers.”Joshua Rhett Miller, “Road to Radicalism: The Man Behind the ‘South Park’ Threats,” Fox News, April 23, 2010,http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/23/road-radicalism-man-south-park-threats/.

“[My goal for writing for Revolution Muslim is to] raise awareness of the correct understanding of key Islamic beliefs.

Excerpt from his “Raising Al Qaa’ida” manifesto:
“The basics of jihaad should be taught at the home from an early age. This should include prohibitions and notions of justice, because we cannot have ourselves raising a generation of murderers and oppressors. Rather, the full message of jihaad should be emphasized so that our children do not become prone to the various deviant groups that rely on their victims not understanding the foundations of a matter.”“Zac Chesser’s manifesto,” Washington Post, accessed September 21, 2015, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/metro/zac-chesser/docs/document-cloud-chesser-manifesto.html.
